Wintan-ceaster (original) (raw)

Winchester. [The name is got from the earlier Venta of Roman Britain. This form occurs in Latin works, e. g. : In Venta civitate,

Bd. 4, 15: Cod. Dip. Kmbl. iii. 300, 16.

Monasterium in Wenta positum, vi. 29, 16. Also the adjective Wentanus (Uentanus, Bd. 5, 18), e. g. : Wentanus episcopus, v. 82, 14. Wentana ecclesia, ii. 210, 3 : v. 45, 3. Wentana civitas, ii. 140, 9: 220, 28. Urbs Wentana, iii. 326, 10: iv. 45, 7. Wentana sedes, v. 169, 16. And Wentana is used as the name of the place, e. g. : Wentanae monasterium, iii. 8, 13. But Latinized forms of the English word are used; Wintonia is often found in the charters; the form Wincestria occurs v. 167, 7, and the adjective Wintancestrensis 90, 29.]
